More XMPP add-ons will be adoded as they are being developed for Plone.

XMPP server and reverse proxy

This buildout will also install the 'ejabberd XMPP server and Nginx to
serve as a reverse proxy for ejabberd's connection manager (the connection
manager provides a bridge between the XMPP server and the browser which speaks
HTTP).

For ejabberd you'll need to have erlang installed.

Creating the XMPP admin user

collective.chat.core requires an admin XMPP user to be able to register new
XMPP users whenever new Plone users are created.

In your buildout folder, after running the buildout, you need to do the following:

./bin/ejabberdctl register admin localhost your_password

Test that you can access your ejabberd by logging to the admin interface (typically http://localhost:5280/admin). You should also be able to access the http-bind interface (of the connection manager) at http://localhost:5280/http-bind.

Installation on Debian/Ubuntu/etc.

This buildout compiles Nginx and Ejabberd from source and to do this, you'll need
the development files of their dependencies.
